Let $K$ be a convex body in $\Bbb R^{d}$ and $K_{t}$ its floating bodies. There is a polytope with at most $n$ vertices that satisfies $$ K_{t} \subset P_{n} \subset K $$ where $$ n \leq e^{16d} \frac{vol_{d}(K \setminus K_{t})}{t\…

Poisson processes of so-called $\lambda$-geodesic hyperplanes in $d$-dimensional hyperbolic space are studied for $0\leq\lambda\leq 1$. The case $\lambda=0$ corresponds to genuine geodesic hyperplanes, the case $\lambda=1$ to horospheres…
